STEP 1 – filling the water tank
• Ensure the Power button is in the ‘Off’ position
and the Selector Control, on the side of the
machine, is set to the Standby position.
• Unplug the power cord.
• Remove the filter holder if locked into the brew
head and move the steam wand to the side of
the machine.
• Remove the water tank by sliding out using the
handle insert in the front of the water tank.
• As the water tank is removed, a black tube slides
and extends out from the water tank storage
area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it
will automatically slide back into position when
the water tank is re inserted.
• Fill the water tank with cold, tap water to the
maximum mark on the water window and slide
the water tank carefully back into position in the
machine.
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the ‘Standby’
position and plug the power cord into a 230V
power outlet and switch on.
• Press the POWER button to ‘On’, the POWER
button surround will flash while the machine is
heating. When the correct temperature has been
reached, all the button surrounds on the control
panel will illuminate.
STEP 2 – pre-warming the cups
• The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as
the machine heats.
• Pre-warm the espresso cups by placing on the
Cup Warming Plate. This will help maintain the
coffee’s optimal temperature when brewed into
the cups.
NOTE: Check the water level before use and
replace the water daily. The water tank should
be refilled with fresh, cold tap water before each
use. Do not use mineral or distilled water or any
other liquid.
